Aug. 9th ~ Torpedoed by a German & Swept Away at Sea game thread

[AT Funchal-Madeira]

White has had only 1013 PA and 903 AB;s in the minors, all below AAA. The M's may have rushed him a year.... might not hurt to send him back down but they have no AAA this year.... at least this way he gets a decent look at top notch Major League pitching... He might do well to get some ABs in AAA next season, or play some winter ball... but another year wouldn't hurt. I remember the M's kept sending Edgar back to AAA even after he was winning AAA and winter ball batting titles...

Nice! Another one of those sliders that I requested that starts well off the plate and comes back in the zone. Exactly, AT, that is what confidence allows him to do instead of trying to be to fine. He's got the stuff. Just throw strikes.

Don't think I've ever seen a DH ever hitting .094 in the second quarter of the season... Vogelbach is looking unique...worse than Jack Cust On December 8, 2010, Cust signed a one-year deal with the Seattle Mariners. On July 29, 2011, the Mariners released Cust after he hit just .213 with 3 home runs.

LOL

Will there be an AFL? Can't imagine him going there even if there was but yeah he needs winter ball at least.

Greatest day at the plate in Hudson's career. lol

Hudson showing Evans how to work it for a BB; he also has a single today. Way to go, Joe.

So German had 23 pitches in the first and has only needed 48 more to get through the next 5.

I think the stache gives Swanson his power

Swanson must have been eating some Hungry man dinners. He's quite gassy at 96 mph.
